{cf15i BOOK III}Surely God is good to Israel, {cf15i even} to such as are pure in heart. |
2
|
But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped. |
3
|
For I was envious at the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. |
4
|
For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm. |
5
|
They are not in trouble as {cf15i other} men; neither are they plagued like {cf15i other} men. |
6
|
Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; violence covereth them as a garment. |
7
|
Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish. |
8
|
They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: they speak loftily. |
9
|
They have set their mouth in the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth. |
10
|
Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full {cf15i cup} are wrung out by them. |
11
|
And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the Most High? |
12
|
Behold, these are the wicked; and, being alway at ease, they increase in riches. |
13
|
Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, and washed my hands in innocency; |
14
|
For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning. |
15
|
If I had said, I will speak thus; behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children. |
16
|
When I thought how I might know this, it was too painful for me; |
17
|
Until I went into the sanctuary of God, and considered their latter end. |
18
|
Surely thou settest them in slippery places: thou castest them down to destruction. |
19
|
How are they become a desolation in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors. |
20
|
As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image. |
21
|
For my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins: |
22
|
So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was {cf15i as} a beast before thee. |
23
|
Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden my right hand. |
24
|
Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. |
25
|
Whom have I in heaven {cf15i but thee}? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. |
26
|
My flesh and my heart faileth: {cf15i but} God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever. |
27
|
For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee. |
28
|
But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all thy works. |
